DESCRIPTION

SUBLITEX is a thermo-adhesive polyester film for heat textile transfer on light and dark fabrics. 

• Printable on its rough side
• Denim-like finish
• Thick, full-bodied vinyl. Can be cut with a vinyl cutter, scissors or a cutter
• Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certifies that it is suitable for application on baby and children's clothing
• The liner is a clear self-adhesive polyester film
• Made in France by Chemica

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• For small designs with a lot of detail,  use transfer tape for easier vinyl application. In this case, we recommend using a high tack application tape such as Poli-Tack 850
• When using a transfer tape, you must remember that, since it is made of polyester, some of the ink may remain on it due to resublimation. To avoid this, we recommend pressing it for a short time (2-3 seconds), removing the carrier from the vinyl, and pressing it again
• After printing the vinyl with ink, it should be left to dry. Transfer it to the garment once the ink is dry to the touch
• Print it using cut marks to cut it with the plotter
• Wait at least 24 hours before the first wash

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBLIMATION INKS

• Print the design directly on the rough side of the vinyl
• Let the ink dry
• Cut the vinyl with a plotter when the ink is dry to the touch.
• Weed out your excess vinyl
• In case of using an application tape, stick it to the vinyl starting from the centre outwards, avoiding creasing the vinyl
• Preheat the press to 170ºC
• Place the garment on the press and pre-press for 4-5 seconds to remove wrinkles and moisture from the fabric
• Take the vinyl off its liner and place it on the garment
• Cover with protective paper
• Press for 50 seconds, medium pressure
• If you have used transfer tape, hot peel it
